2007 North Pole
Expeditionary Champagne Flight Slideshow

About this expedition: Our 2007 North Pole "Expeditionary Champagne Flight" was a true adventure! We reached the North Pole by helicopter on April 12, a beautiful sunny day, and we had a great celebration. The festivities continued back at the Borneo ice camp where we became "tent bound" by a storm generated by low atmospheric pressure. Stuck with us at Borneo were many other adventurers and as we waited for conditions to improve we had a good time playing games, sharing jokes and swapping stories into the wee hours (easy to do when there's 24 hour sunlight!)

It was stunning."

fly to the north pole
Client tip #4
"It's going to be one of the best memories of your life. But believe everything you are told about the cold...at the Pole it is freezing plus! Follow the clothing - gloves and boots recommendations especially -

no tolerance for "tough guys."

Client tip # 8
"Be prepared - take matters seriously, but enjoy yourself.
For me the shakedown trip and the expedition gave me the opportunity to escape my world and live a dream. I was in a
land of no phones, no faxes,
no business emergencies - a cold heaven. Based on the trip
I was able to readjust some personal values which have improved my life."
